The replace comes with patch notes so lengthy, Capcom broke it in to four parts. Below, an outdated console trailer that also supplies a peek on the Skeleton Appreciation Month occasion.
‘Trick or treat’ may lose a few of its edge when your job is being chased by fire-breathing murdersaurs, however that’s no excuse to not present slightly festive spirit. By finishing targets and occasion quests in the course of the competition, you’ll be able to earn some spooky new gear, together with outfits to your Palico and Poogie, and a brand new costume to your Handler. There’s one thing for hunters of all ranges, with a one-star quest referred to as “Up at the Crack of Dawn” and a five-star one referred to as “Every Hunter’s Dream”.

Everyone on October fifth will discover slightly present of their inbox – a free character edit voucher, permitting you to revamp your character as soon as and solely as soon as. The in depth patch notes element a slew of bugs mounted, together with fixes to eight completely different weapon varieties.
